…and a lot of time. Just loading and unloading all that gear and setting up takes an hour or more.

And that is why photographers charge a fee for their work, and that fee covers all that work plus the post processing. Your nephew with a camera can click, but he can’t give you the quality images that you get when you do it properly.

Reminder: these are real books, at least 100 pages each, with all the practical and theoretical information you need to become a good photographer. They are intended both for beginners and for advanced users: everyone will find useful information in them, and as an engineer who thinks that things should be simple, I know how to explain complicated concepts.

Designed to look great on an iPad or large phone, and you can even print them (there’s a README included that gives you permission, so copy shops will do it).

The books add up to C$189 (plus tax if you’re Canadian), or $109 plus tax if you buy them all at once.

But here’s the news. This week, use discount code AugustValueDeal upon checkout, and you get all seven books for $50 (plus HST).

So click now and enjoy hours of reading pleasure—and become a better photographer at the same time.
